That will run 5 boxes just fine.

Im using a q6600 with 8gb ram and an 8600GTS. I have no lag anymore since upgrading to 8gb of ram. I get a comfortable 30 fps on the main and 15 on the alts.

I really want a PC that can do 60 fps on all 5 windows, if such a thing existed /sigh

With all details maxed?
.......beast out of pc powerplay?

I have everything set to low except for the mains view distance. I dont really see much point on the alts getting things looking pretty. As long as their following and not getting left behind due to lag im happy.

You can find one, it'll cost monstrous amounts of cash. You'd have to go with an SLI setup or CrossFire if you went ATI.

ATI you'd get the dual 4870x2 1GB versions. That will run wow at 60fps across all your screens if you has Solid State Disk for your wow Installs.

If that doesn't cut it. Nothing will. Of course you are dropping almost 1500 for a setup to play WoW, but hey, money, parted, etc.

Is it really a fool and his money parted if said fool can easily afford said computer? My current budget for a new computer is about 4k(if you can call that a budget) and no this will not be just for WoW. I'm kinda doubting the xfire setup doing 60fps since WoW is cpu and ram bottlenecked, but hey I've been wrong before.
